Go Big With Our Full Frame WordPress Theme

Tired of tiny photos and videos? Yeah, we are too. That’s why we built Full Frame, a clean and modern, responsive, post-format-loving WordPress theme that is ohhh…sooo pretty.

Custom Headers & Background Images

The featured image of each post becomes the background image of the post on home and archive pages. You can optionally add a custom header image and logo, which will sit atop all pages. Here is an example of a post assigned to the “gallery post format” with an inserted gallery and featured image:

Smart Ways to Use Post Formats

Post Formats are an incredibly useful, yet under-utilized tool. If you only wanted to showcase big photos, for example, use the image post format to create a photo-centric site, like this. You could also mix in some gallery post formats, which look like this.

Keyboard Navigation

You can use your up/down arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate quickly between post on the home and archive pages. You can also optionally use the up/down buttons located in the top right of the navigation bar to navigate as well.

Responsive Design

Full Frame is a single column theme that resizes with your browser. This theme was designed with mobile devices in mind. We’re especially proud of the responsive menu on iPads and iPhones. Give it a ‘lil test!

Sticky, Fixed Navigation Bar

The optional custom header image (not shown on the demo site) appears above the navigation bar. When visitors scroll down below the header image, the navigation bar changes from a relatively positioned element below the header image into a fixed position, appearing always at the top of the page. Pretty useful, eh?

Fonts, Theme Options, Customizer Support

As with all of our newer themes, Full Frame includes custom font options, additional theme options for easily customizing your site, and integrates with the theme customizer tool in WordPress.

Winner?

We’d love hear what you think about Full Frame. It’s been a doozy to make and we hope you enjoy it!

this is great! I am still waiting though for a theme that really shows off portrait format images in a Gallery format, something new that doesnt show just one image at a time. sidewinder is the closest, and I got really excited to see sideswipe and gridspace… both they both are awesome themes that go pretty boring once you get to the gallery/portfolios. You guys create such awesome themes for text content, you need to create an awesome new way to view portfolios for image content that isnt blogged!

I don’t understand if you can have a static homepage instead of the one containing all the images as you scroll down. Would love to land on a single image page and then navigate to the galleries.. (don’t know if I explained it clearly)

Was wondering what the default featured image looks like -my main concern with updating to this theme would be having to update all my featured images to 950 width, however I could use default featured image (depending on what it looks like) while I work on updating all my old featured images (I currently use Mixfolio)

This is beautiful. I would really love to see what it looks like with the header image that disappears(?) as the user scrolls down, as described above as the “Sticky, Fixed Navagation Bar” feature. Is there a blog you could direct me too that’s using the Full Frame theme?

Hi Maurice. You’d better read the fine print before uploading any images to Instagram. For any image you upload, you instantly give Instagram unlimited rights to use the image, wherever they choose, and for whatever purpose they choose. I, for one, am not going to hand over my intellectual property rights without some reward for doing so.

Like the overall concept, but I’m having problems with the featured images. Looks like it’s pulling a medium rather than full-size image and then html scaling. yuck! Not sure how to fix. http://www.andrewmcdonaldphoto.com. Thanks!

Double check your Settings -> Media are set to the right sizes specified on the theme instructions (readme.txt). You might need to run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to make old images uploaded at smaller dimensions resize to the new size for Full Frame.

loving this theme. Tell me please: how do I get the same menu structure that you have in your demo site; where the word MENU appears in the an bar, with my chosen menu appearing below? So far, I can only get the first item of my chosen menu to appear. Your time is appreciated.

I saw some guys were asking about share buttons underneath each posts, I just installed shareaholic plugin and costumized it. Also I am trying to figure an issue, I tried to create a gallery and feature it’s photo, but for some reason on home page it wouldn’t show up like in Demo version, basically the gallery post feature doesn’t work..not sure what i’m doing wrong:/

Also I looked at http://www.boudist.com/ and I really would like to find out how to put the title and text on the feature image that would show like in black transperent box, on home page?

overall I love the theme, and there are things that I can’t figure out yet how to customize it…

This looks like a beautiful theme. The only problem I can see is that when the homepage text is over a light part of the image, the text is hard to see. http://www.boudist.com/ seems to have solved this. Is that a built in option in your theme or did boudist.com make some css mods? Thanks!

Can you explain where to add this CSS? Would you consider making this an option in future updates? Also, I’ve read that you can control where the text excerpt is located through text options on your post page near the featured image, but I upgraded to the latest version, and I still don’t have this option. Help would be appreciated.

Hi, love, love this theme, think it’s amazing! I’m stuck & lookin to see if anyone can help. I’m desperately trying to make a full size single image as my static home page. I’ve tried adding a new ‘standard’ page,(and also tried a new ‘image’ page) set my featured image and set as static page, but the page just shows as background image with a white box body for text. Any ideas as i’m completely flumoxed. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance 😉

It’s a very cool theme. What is unfortunate though is that if you use a static page as your homepage, the site title blocks out the title of the first post on your blog making it inaccessible. Additionally all the options you can set for a blog post such as where the title appears get lost. I believe they GPP guys have mentioned this in their instructions, but that doesn’t help the issue. 🙁

hi I,ve purchased your fullframe via wordpress and loving it. However think i’d like to transport it to my other sites host so i can add plug-ins and google analytics etc… Is there any advice links on how to do this pls?

Also how do i change the title bar background? its currently black and i,ve purchased custom design but still can’t figure?

Hey Louise, did you find a solution on how to move the full frame theme from wordpress.com to wordpress.org? I have the same problem, since I want to use a plugin so that I can integrate my newsletter on my site. Help is much appreciated 🙂

Hi! Just purchased the lovely Full Frame, but how do I get my logo on the page? I thought its place would be up left in the navigation bar, but I´m not succeeding getting it there, or anywhere else for that matter. In which format the logofile should be? PNG? JPG? And a second question: what is the recommended sizing for the featured background image, so that it will not be pixeled even in bigger screens….? Thanks a lot for your help, will be appreciated =)

This was the best GP theme so far until I somehow lost the option to have a horizontal nav bar. It worked fine when first installed and customized to the Navigation option, but perhaps in experimenting with other menus I lost it. The only option now is a Menu dropdown. How can I get the horizontal nav bar back?

Hi, How can I eliminate the comments box from my pages? I’m not a blogger, I’m an artist. My content is mostly static. I’ve tried a number of things from my dashboard but I haven’t found the right process. Thanks

Thanks a lot for making me aware about best of full frame WordPress theme. I wish and hope this theme would definitely be used in my next project. I would like to say something about your post that every time I visit on this website finds some creative themes like nulledstylez.com has. They have also lots of WordPress themes of different categories which anyone can download for free of cost
